DISTRICT ROVANIEMI
It was after a trip to Mongolia and the discovery of the yurt concept that Kati and Jyri created District Rovaniemi in 2020.
After a trip to Mongolia and the discovery of yurts, Kati and Jyri decided to create District Rovaniemi with Janne in 2020, just 20 min from the airport but far from the city lights. This project is the result of their desire to share their love of nature, culture and a unique experience. Sustainable homes, with all the comforts of a luxury room, in a modern Arctic ambiance. Enjoy an authentic barbecue by the fire with the owners. A unique glamping experience.
Rooms
YURT WITH VIEW OF FOREST HILL
The hilltop yurt
This is a unique opportunity to sleep in the wilderness of the Arctic Circle. The cosy yurt is located 25 km from the center of Rovaniemi, at the top of a forested hill. The area is quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. There are no roads leading up to the forest hill, so we'll take you there by mountain bike or snowmobile and help you get comfortable. There are no showers or toilets available, so you're truly in the middle of the wilderness. Telephone and wifi are available, so if you're feeling too quiet or lonely, you can get in touch with the outside world. The yurt is decorated with beautiful Scandinavian features, and it's warm even if it's cold outside. It's a place to reflect, relax and enjoy pure, simple things. We think it's something everyone should experience at least once in their lives!
If you'd like to experience the Finnish wooden sauna, this can be arranged for an additional charge. The sauna is located 5km from the yurt, and can be reached by snowmobile or mountain bike. The price of the trip is included in the price of the sauna.
YURT WITH RIVER VIEW
The yurt district
This is a unique opportunity to sleep next to the magnificent river view of the Arctic Circle. The cosy and warm yurt is located 25 km from the center of Rovaniemi and right next to a large river. The yurt is decorated with beautiful Scandinavian features, and it's warm even when it's cold outside. It's a place to reflect, relax and enjoy pure, simple things. We think it's something everyone should experience at least once in their lives!
The yurts have glass roofs, so you can see the stars and northern lights as you relax in bed. Next to the yurts, we have a lovely outdoor open-fire grill where certain dishes can be grilled. The open fireplace is also perfect for stargazing and searching for the northern lights.
For your comfort, a new shower and toilet block is available close to the yurts. A wood-fired Finnish sauna can be heated for the evening on request. Additional charges apply for the sauna.
Telephone and WiFi are available, so if you're feeling too quiet or lonely, you can get in touch with the outside world.

Members' reviews on DISTRICT ROVANIEMI
The room was beautifully decorated with Scandinavian elements, pretty reindeers and Santa Claus everywhere, it made me feel like home.
It’s white everywhere around you, and no less than a fairy tale land, perfect location for the northern lights, away from the city and very peaceful. Theres also a Trail that goes to the top of the hill with scenic views.
Thank you for a great experience, it was lovely staying here!
